Sudden large drops in the backlink count shown in Google Search Console are usually a reporting or source-side issue, not Google "deleting" links. As reported and touched on quality, two broad realities matter: Google can ignore or devalue low-quality/duplicate links for ranking, and Search Console sometimes samples, deduplicates, or has temporary glitches that make counts jump.

Quick checklist to diagnose and act:

  • Verify the link exists on the source page: visit a sample of the linking pages to confirm the anchor is still present and the page returns 200 (not 404/410) or redirects elsewhere.
  • Use Search Console Links (export the list) and URL Inspection to see what Google last crawled; compare with third-party backlink crawlers to spot reporting differences.
  • Check for site-level changes that break links: HTTP/HTTPS or www/non-www moves, URL rewrites, canonical tags, or robots/meta noindex/nofollow on the linking page.
  • Look for manual actions or widespread deindexing in Search Console that might explain mass loss.
  • If it looks like a reporting bug, wait 48–72 hours and recheck; if links are truly gone, contact the linking site owners or rebuild links via outreach and content.

Caution: do not use the Disavow tool unless there is a clear manual-action or toxic-link problem. Keep an external log (exports) so future changes can be compared quickly.

The content in the back link should be unique and not repetative. And if google founds that the contents is not unique or fresh it automatically delete's it.

Thanks Ronald.. the issue got resolved automatically. There seems to be aproblem with the webmaster itself and that has happened with many webmaster users.... Thanks for your support.
